Unitronic Releases 3’’ Downpipe for 2.0 TSI Gen3 MQB AWD

Expanding on its already released Performance Software, Unitronic is pleased to present its 3’’ Downpipe for vehicles equipped with the 2.0 TSI® Gen3 MQB® (AWD) engine. Unitronic’s Exhaust System upgrades are a direct bolt-on, providing hardware support complementing its Performance Software to achieve maximum performance without sacrifice.

Price: $959.99 (USD)

Unitronic’s philosophy in designing Performance Hardware starts by first analyzing the factory component(s) in various street and track environments to determine overall performance and likely limitations beyond certain power levels. Through analysis of the data collected, along with engine calibration and engineering principles applied, goals were set forth; optimization of exhaust gas flow and limiting backpressure on the turbine were top priority from a functional, performance oriented standpoint. In addition to these and following suit as is with all of Unitronic Performance Hardware products, ensuring precise OEM-like fitment and top tier component quality is also of utmost importance. All of this must be met without sacrifice, while also ensuring a competitive performance to cost ratio for our end-users.

All of Unitronic’s Performance Hardware products are designed using our in-house 3D scanner and modeling software. With these industry-leading resources in-house at our disposal, design aspects and fitment tolerances are at the maximum precision of up to four one-thousands of an inch. The result ensures maximum fitment precision on each and every Unitronic Performance Hardware product. After platform constraints and OEM components are 3D scanned, all data is imported into our modeling software, where we can analyze and interact with the chassis constraints to design an upgraded performance-oriented exhaust system to fit these constraints, as mentioned, perfectly; while ensuring that technical aspects and engineering principles are deployed.

On this 2.0 TSI Gen3 platform, Unitronic’s Downpipe features a flow matched turbocharger turbine discharge downturn of 80mm smoothly tapering to 76.2mm (3”). The exhaust gasses continue through a 200-cell metallic matrix high-flow catalyst, located in the factory position for maximum efficiency along with an OEM-inspired heat shield to reduce radiant heat dispersing into the engine bay.

Unitronic’s Downpipe is designed to utilize the OEM mounting locations to ensure a seamless direct bolt-on upgrade, while securely fastening the downpipe to the engine. This results in mitigating any potential rotation of the v-band flange between the turbocharger discharge and downpipe under hard acceleration and engine movement. Unitronic’s Downpipe also features an 6-inch corrugated stainless steel flex section to further ensure long-term longevity and integrity.

Unitronic’s Exhaust Systems feature a unique v-band fastening system, using T316 stainless steel flanges and a locking ring to guarantee a centric alignment of the two v-band flanges to ensure a leak proof connection every time. These elements combined not only allow Unitronic to set itself apart from the competition, but also for less development prototyping, faster validation, and strict post-production quality control.

Combine with Unitronic Stage 2 Performance Software for a boasting performance to 397HP and 368LB-TQ with a MK7 Golf R, 8V S3 and MK3 TTS.

Combine with Unitronic Stage 2 Performance Software for a boasting performance to 337HP / 370 LB-TQ with an 8V A3 2.0 TSI and MK3 TT.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Event Report: Southern Worthersee 2015

There’s been much ado about this year’s SoWo since this past Saturday night, when Instagram, Facebook and other Social Media channels exploded with images and commentary focusing on the event’s bad eggs. But first, let’s chat a bit about the event itself. Our journey started early Thursday morning as part of the Orchid Euro/Coolwater cruise to the event. What should have taken about 12-13 hours ended up taking much more, as we stopped to help any Volkswagen that needed our assistance. And while the extended commute time wasn’t ideal, it proved to highlight the ‘no person left behind’ spirit of the Volkswagen community- arguably one of the scene’s best qualities. On Friday and Saturday, the town was flooded with enthusiasts, making this year’s event without a doubt the largest yet. Attendees came from as far as California, Mexico City, and event a few straight from the original Wörthersee in Austria, and for most it was well worth the trip. The quality o...
